Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 1019 One with surroundings
Lucifer looked out the ship, his expressions darkening. In the distance, he could see the Ship that belonged to the Star Alliance's Annihilation Squad. But more than that, he could see Earth in the distance.
The Star Alliance Ship had completed the process of gathering the necessary energy for its imminent attack. As Lucifer gazed upon the scene, he witnessed the beam of formidable energy being propelled directly towards the Earth.
"This..." Ron was also stunned. Were they too late? He looked towards Lucifer, only to be stunned that Lucifer wasn't there anymore.
"Where did he..." He grew confused. A thought crossed his mind as he looked outside. He couldn't help but consider the possibility. Was Lucifer really going to do something like that?
As he looked out, he was stunned to find his guess to be correct.
Lucifer appeared out in space right in front of the beam that was shot towards the Earth's Core. It was as if he was trying to stop the attack with his body, because if it hit earth, the world couldn't be saved.
Lucifer's pure white attire created a stark contrast with his surroundings, especially the attack that flew straight to him. Ron felt that Lucifer was crazy for trying something like this. Even his Grandfather wouldn't dare to stand before the attack.
However, what he saw next stunned him as well. Lucifer didn't let the attack hit him. Instead, he used another method.
He raised his right hand, creating a circle with his finger. As his finger moved, the space around him shattered. The Decaying Field spread out, but this time, he stopped controlling it entirely.
He went above and beyond what he had tried previously to the point that his Decaying started hurting him as well.
He found himself in a decaying environment, gradually being engulfed by the void. The vast expanse of space that was once empty now transformed into a formless abyss as it was devoured.
Lucifer didn't know how to create spatial cracks to travel. He wasn't good at creation, but when it came to destruction, there was no one better than him.
He knew that his shield couldn't block this attack. Even if he might survive the attack thanks to his healing, but his body wasn't strong enough to stop the attack from landing on earth. He couldn't let it hit him, but he also couldn't let it pass through.
He needed something that could swiftly stop this attack. There was only one method he could think of. And since he was in space, that method became even more effective.
He could've created a Spatial Portal that could send the attack to another area, maybe even make it hit the ship itself. But since that wasn't possible for him, he did the next thing. He turned his surroundings into a black hole with him at the core.
He used his decay to turn his surroundings into a void, and then used his control over time to increase the passage of time around his surroundings to strengthen his decay.
Unfortunately, he was in the core of this black hole, which even his healing was having a hard time keeping up with. He could feel his life essence being devoured.
Usually, it would've replenished itself thanks to the essence he would've had from devouring his surroundings, but since his surroundings had turned into a great void, there was no essence left for him to devour.
He even felt as if he was suffocating. He couldn't see clearly as his surroundings were nothing but pure darkness.
The focused attack beam collided with the pitch-black void it was aimed at, resulting in a spectacular clash of power. The destructive force of the beam and the insatiable appetite of the black hole created intense waves of energy, occasionally evoking the sensation of a blazing fire roaring through the emptiness of space.
As the clash escalated, the black hole began to exhibit unusual behavior. The intense heat and energy of the attack beam caused the void to tremble and ripple, creating cracks in its impenetrable facade.
Fortunately, with the attack finally entering the void, Lucifer had a source of energy. With the small frictions of the attack that were being absorbed by his body, he was able to maintain the Black Hole. Not only could he maintain it, but he was also able to strengthen it.
He felt as if his body was being wrecked apart as a large amount of energy invaded his body, only to be sent out even stronger. He had become a conduit, his mind overwhelmed. At this moment, he couldn't even think about anything else other than that he couldn't stop.
Overwhelmed by the immense surge of energy coursing through his body, he could barely contain its power. His heart seemed to skip beats, as if momentarily stopping in its rhythm. The intensity caused his skin to dry out, giving rise to deep cracks that split open, unleashing a radiant white light from beneath.
The light enveloped his entire being, blinding him momentarily. As the light subsided, he found himself floating in mid-air, weightless and untethered. His body seemed to be infused with otherworldly energy.
However, strangely enough, he had lost his entire sense of self. He couldn't feel any pain. He couldn't even feel his body. It was as if he had truly become one with his surroundings.
His mind had completely gone blank. He didn't know how long he remained in that state that made him feel as if he was dreaming.
After a long time, he finally came to his senses. His vision was blurry but there was no pain in his body. The familiar surroundings had reverted back to their previous state, giving the impression that the attack had finally ended.
Did he save his world? With this thought, the first thing he did was look behind. His vision slowly recovering as well. Unfortunately, when he looked back, his expressions turned from hope to despair.
The destruction that had taken place was immense, leaving his world unrecognizable. It was as if the once green world had now turned into a completely barren land.
